Arthur Taken Prisoner, ca. 1786, John Opie (British, 1761-1807)
"But such is the infection of the time,
That for the health and physic of our right,
We cannot deal but with the very hand
Of stern injustice, and confused wrong.
And is't not pity, (oh my grieved friends)
That we, the sons and children of this Isle,
Was born to see so sad an hour as this?"
Salisbury, Act 5, Scene 2
